You can qualify for the PSPC via PokerStars Live events, and online at PokerStars.

European Poker Tour

For 13 years, the much loved and iconic European Poker Tour (EPT) was the world’s richest and most popular poker tour. Heroes, pros and villains made their stories across the felts in glamorous cities and historic casinos across Europe and beyond. And after a year away, the EPT is back - underlining the commitment from sponsor PokerStars to promote poker around the world. The EPT is designed for all players, with tournament buy-ins from €100 up to €100,000. It also offers multiple opportunities to qualify for the spectacular PokerStars Players NL Hold’em Championship (PSPC) in The Bahamas.

Asia Pacific Poker Tour

Originally launched in 2007, the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) is the premier poker tour in the Asia-Pacific region. It regularly awards the most prize money to the largest player fields, and past stops have included Macau, the Philippines, and South Korea. The APPT umbrella also includes record-breaking events such as the Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP), Macau Poker Cup, Manila Megastack, and Macau Millions. In addition, APPT events also offer numerous chances to qualify for the PokerStars NL Hold'em Players Championship in The Bahamas.

PCA

MEGASTACK tournaments can be both entry-level tournaments for players new to live poker or for more seasoned players, but each promises a deep-stacked, professionally run poker experience at a fraction of the normal cost.
